Team Fortress 2/Memes: Difference between revisions

** ''SPAH'' <ref>The [[Fan Nickname]] for the Spy due to the Engineer's accent, all-caps necessary.</ref>

* Scout's resemblance to [[Vince Offer]]. Became an [[Ascended Meme]] in the form of some of his domination/revenge lines.

* "[[media:Gentlemen.jpg|Gentlemen]]" <ref>One of Spy's taunts, which became a meme after an image spread on /v/ that showed him attempting to smoke approximately 37 cigarettes at once. Variations include "Mentlegen" (a Spy emerging from the mouth of a Spy), and occasionally other classes with a mouth full of whatever is paired with their [[Catch Phrase]]. (For example, a Soldier with a mouthful of grenades, exclaiming "MAGGOTS".)</ref>

* TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT <ref>Started primarily on 4chan in anticipation for the eventual "Engineer Update", who was the last of nine classes to get any new weapons. Any time a minor update to TF2 would occur in the coming weeks, people would often quote the above line.</ref>

* ''Hat Fortress 2''. <ref>The game has '''a lot''' of hats, and the purchase and trading of hats became an enormous part of the community, to the point where nearly any mention of hats prompts a ''TF2'' joke. Reddit likes to refer to the game as a "war-themed hat simulator".</ref>

** According to fans, the ''TF2'' dev team is obsessed with hats and does nothing else but work on hats all day. This has become an [[Ascended Meme]], as even the developers discuss their obsession. Shown [http://artpass.tf2maps.net/ in this comic] and on [http://tf2.com/post.php?id=3692&p=2 this blog post.] They were also incredulous that ''[[Portal 2]]'' had no hats in it, so they snuck into the dev team's office [http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=5325 to add some to the co-op mode]. Also, regarding an update to the fan-made [[Retraux]] [[Videogame Demake|demake]] ''Gang Garrison'':

:: It has become such an [[Ascended Meme]] that, on certain pages of the offical ''TF2'' website, the game is described as a "War-themed hat simulator".

* "Slap my hand!"<ref>When the High Five! taunt was added into the game, a new set of responses was recorded for the Spy for this purpose. Especially in the Garry's Mod world, it has been taken to memetic levels with the spy often posing for a high five.</ref>
